Learners will study Emery's Fire Service Pyramid of Success and will use this model to better relate and define their own personal leadership as it relates to them as individuals and as team leaders. Learners will also examine an organizational foundation for their role as leader which will include concepts of organizational structure and culture - two important elements that impact the formal leadership role. Additionally, learners will explore the concept of community leadership and service excellence and be able to situate this knowledge within their own community to gain a better understanding of the public role of the fire service.
